Socks outside vs inside
Wow even looks like a GPU.
What is it?
Still more reliable than Wayland on nvidia.
also doubles as an electrical fire generator, very versatile
If you are worried about that, then don't look behind the panel on any computers with a wire wrapped backplane.
The design is very human
Typical spaghetti code
-O2 from the looks of it
Can it play Crysis?
Only gamers will get that joke

It certainly can cause crisis
Fire starter 4000
Actually no. Wire wrapping prototypes were made like this. This also looks like an old ISA card as well, from which period this method of prototyping was still in us. It's also the method in which the Apollo's guidance computer was made and that one survived a lot harsher conditions than desktop PC, and survived.
Mine almost looks that good
nice
This looks more like the boards they used in the 60s and 70s in prototyping. I have done such a board myself in my youth. All 40xx and 74LSxx DIL chips and a plain dot board. And a sh-tload of patching wire where I had to remove the isolation paint before I could solder that stuff.
I don't think you could build a working GPU with that wirewrap technology, the frequncies needed are simply to high.
If it's open, looks don't matter. Also doesn't matter if the drivers are trash, or if it runs zero games. It's all fixable trash - that's the point.
(Also, that's not a GPU, but it's the thought that counts)
What am I looking at?
It looks like a wire wrapped prototype board of some kind, impossible to tell the purpose from that photo alone though.
I don't know, maybe it's not even a GPU
Did you see the pic of the front?

Looks like an ISA card to me - might be RAM, but I'm not confident at all
Serious response I agree with Pogo, it looks like a handmade RAM.
some pci-e device. but the main chips are probably on the other side of the board.
Haywire. You don't see that often anymore.
I wonder why
Why does this look like when i first iterate a pcb and need to bodge the hell out of it to make it work.
Judging by the craiglist watermark on the bottom right, it's probably just a meme listing.
I have stolen it from Chinese website
You switched two wires.
I can see the schematics!
Is there more info about this? I could only find Chinese forums like https://m-weibo-cn.translate.goog/status/OdaBMza1L?from=page_1005052963774131_profile&wvr=6&mod=weibotime&jumpfrom=weibocom
The chips (basic TTL logic, perhaps) are all DIP. This may predate the term "open source".
Dedication to wire this up manually is amazing.
Me when I forget about FPGAs
And the fact that more-than-0-layer PCBs exist
What's its name

GTX Firebomb
aka FTX (F for Fire and to pay respects)
Oughta be able to render hair well at least
Messy cabling. Pull them out.
